Re: more music theory (direction)

I also wanted to mention a simple thing that helped me think about chords in a better (different?) way: It's not the notes that you are playing but the intervals between them that really define the chord. Think intervals, not notes. Exactly. Here's a list with the intervals in semitones. Common Nam...

Re: more music theory (direction)

i dont think the melody wants to go anywhere. i think the bass wants to go somewhere and I feel that if it does the melody on top will have some emotional direction. does that make sence? Yeh. Say you want to write a phrase in the key of G major. The most simple thing to do is to start the phrase w...

Re: ableton chord session based on circle of 5ths

i'm sure the session could be improved.. ie... inversions, articulations, etc... feel free or maybe make suggestions and i'll try to incorporate them. Yeh, the inversions included. Then preparation and resolution of the seventh and diminished chords. Progressions 4up, 3 down, 2up 2down, 3up and 4do...

Re: ableton chord session based on circle of 5ths

I feel like a shit pointing it out though. :( No its good you do, you would be a prick if you didnt. The confusion is that guitarplayers just look at a chord, not in the context of a key. VI of the key Cmajor is ACE, or ACEG if you want to have the seventh. ACE is also the I of the key Aminor. Ther...

Re: ableton chord session based on circle of 5ths

i'm not really a theory expert either. i assembled these from some charts i had... there could very well be errors. from what i understand every major key has a complement minor key, for example D major = B Minor. After mapping a major key's chords I didnt change the order of the chords for the rel...
